After the rally ended at the Tharpa Choeling Monastery, a meeting was held there, where the GTA Sabhasad, Samuel Gurung lighted the ceremonial lamp. One minute silence was also observed remembering and paying tribute to all the Tibetan martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Tibet and also to the Indian Army Jawans who died during the 1962 war.
President, PT Bhutia, in his address notified that the day is observed all over India as a ?black day?, today. Until now, the country India, has been resisting, but now time has come that people should be aware, he said and added that India do not share its boundary with China. It?s Tibet with whom China has boundary with, he informed. However, there are always talks of boundary infringement, this is happening because there is no unity between the political leaders. Thus, the people need to be united, said Bhutia.
The meeting ended with the National anthem.
